shooting guard era

Chapter 58 69. Lost Steps

In the 10th minute of the third quarter, the score was tied at 90. In 7 minutes, the Heat only scored eight points.The reason turned out to be their ultimate weapon, O'Neill, who hit the iron continuously!

Yes, it is O'Neal's continuous strikes.

Since the Bobcats replaced Brezek, O'Neal was 7 in 1!And the Bobcats suddenly slowed down, making the Heat very uncomfortable.

Bickerstaff, this old Jianghu who has worked hard for 20 years as the team chairman, general manager, assistant coach, and head coach played the opposite Stan Van Gundy enough!

Heat coach Stan Van Gundy, he was crazy on the sidelines.

Speaking of Van Gundy, you have to talk about his younger brother Jeff Van Gundy Jr.

Jeff Van Gundy is estimated to be the most hated person by the owner of the Armani suit brand. Seeing that the suit on his body is dressed like a beggar's suit, it is wrinkled like bark.

If ordinary people wear their own brand of suits, forget it. The key point is that Van Gundy is still a person who often appears on TV and is watched by people all over the world, and they start to go crazy.

According to gossip, the president of Armani’s North American region once contacted Van Gundy privately, hoping that Van Gundy would stop wearing Armani suits and instead wear Burberry (Armani’s rival brand) suits, and was willing to spend his own money to buy suits for Van Gundy.But Van Gundy refused, on the grounds that he liked the Armani brand very much.This made Armani's executives helpless. They liked it and were not short of money. They had no choice but to watch this loyal customer appear on TV every day wearing a wrinkled Armani suit.

Van Gundy is a very good coach. After the Heat signed him in the summer of 03, he focused on training Wade. With Wade and Odom as the core, he made it to the playoffs. You must know that the Heat were contenders for the No. [-] pick the year before.

This year people are very optimistic about Van Gundy leading the Heat with O'Neal and Wade to compete for the championship, because they have O'Neal, Jones, and Wade.

Van Gundy, who seems to have unlimited scenery, only knows how uncomfortable he is now, because this is not a lineup he is good at coaching.

The center's lazy personality is too lively, and he has no three-pointers from the outside, which is completely inconsistent with Van Gundy's coaching philosophy.

Van Gundy likes a center like Ewing, defense, he emphasizes defense.

However, although O'Neal has a strong defense, he is obviously not a defensive champion like Ewing. O'Neal prefers to show his dominance. Most of the time he doesn't like to defend. He is willing to defend when he is forced to play, and he is too lazy to move in the pick-and-roll.

Really just too lazy to move.

Well, O'Neal has his own ideas. He thinks that the regular season is just to play casually, and then work hard in the playoffs, because he has succeeded in doing so more than once.

And Van Gundy likes players who work hard all season.

No matter how dissatisfied Van Gundy is, no matter how many thoughts he has, it is useless.Seriously Shaquille O'Neal is the best player in the world, when you have the best player in the world on your team, you can only make changes according to the preferences of this player.

Just as Van Gundy roared, the Heat made a wrong defense again. After receiving the ball, Ye Han made a false shot and entered the three-second zone. O'Neal and backup power forward Matt Frager went to defend together. Ye Han passed a pass to Okafor, and Okafor dunked easily on the head of O'Neal, who rushed back.

92 to 90, the Bobcats overtook!

Unable to take O'Neal's poor defensive attention any longer, Van Gundy called a timeout and replaced him.

In fact, that is the characteristic of O'Neill. If you want to have his advantages, you have to tolerate his shortcomings. Zen Master has done a very good job in this regard.

Unfortunately, Van Gundy is not a Zen master.

O'Neal was replaced, and the Heat became the Heat in the preseason again, led by Wade and Jones.

Ye Han saw that O'Neill was down, but he didn't let go of his heart. The battle with O'Neill was a battle of wits, and now it's time for real swords and guns.

When O'Neal is off, the Heat may not be so easy to deal with. If O'Neal goes down, it means that Wade and Jones on the outside are liberated!
"Finally I can play against you." Ye Han stood in front of the referee's stand and said to Wade, who was applying chalk.

"I'm also looking forward to it. I'm going to get back the preseason hatred this time." Wade has been holding back for almost three quarters because of O'Neal's rampage, and now he can finally play against Ye Han as the team's first offensive choice. .

Back from the timeout, O'Neal came off the Bobcats side, and Blazek was replaced after completing his task. The players on the field were Sly, Ye Han, Kapono, Gerald Wallace, and Okafor.

The Heat played Eddie Jones, Wade, Rasu Butler, Udonis Haslem, and Malik Allen.

The Heat's lineup is really hard to see without O'Neal. The top guard and the weakest striker, Rasu Butler averaged 6 points per game, shooting less than 03%, and their former small forward Caron Butler It's far behind. Haslem, the blue-collar representative of the golden generation in 10, Laettner is just a fake starter. He is the insider who played the most minutes in the Heat besides O'Neal. This season's average of 10 points and 5 rebounds per game supported O'Neal. The inside defense during the lazy time, Malik Allen, a blue-collar player who averaged 5 points and [-] rebounds per game in his career, came to the Heat as the main player on the bench.

It's time for the real showdown!
The Heat attack and Wade holds the ball.

With O'Neal off the court, Wade can finally show himself to his heart's content.

pick and roll!The pick-and-roll that Wade is best at, the most important part of Van Gundy's tactics, can't be played when O'Neal is there, and Wade can't get inside. O'Neal has occupied the three-second zone.O'Neal brought unparalleled inside dominance to the Heat, but also had some adverse effects on the team.

However, it also allows Wade to maintain sufficient physical strength when O'Neal is on the court. When O'Neal rests and he plays, he can change his style of play instantly, making the opponent very uncomfortable.

Haslem and Wade cooperated tacitly, and Ye Han was firmly blocked by Haslem!
"Damn!" Haslem cursed secretly, he felt like he was hit by a bull.

Here, Ye Han also cursed inwardly, actually picking and rolling!The Heat didn't play a pick-and-roll in the three quarters, and the Bobcats' rotation defense didn't react at all. Gerald Wallace and Ye Han caught Haslem together!

Wade came to the inside, lost his way to sacrifice!First step to the right!
Okafor thought that Wade was going to the bottom line, and rushed to the bottom line.

In the second step, Wade made a big change of direction and jumped to the top of the arc of the reasonable collision zone line in one step!The European step with a big change of direction and fake moves made Okafor dizzy, and turned his back on Wade!
In the third step, Wade directly forced a dunk!European step plus dunk!

Wade's super physical fitness is fully displayed!

92 flats!
